Daily Devotional. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21. Let’s look at the other side of the Great 7 Year Tribulation/Rapture Debate and give it a fair look-see. Some believe that the church will be taken out of the world before the 7 year Great Tribulation starts. Ok, let’s run with that. Those of us who think otherwise will be in for a great shock. Years and years of preparing for the worst, trying to learn Obedience to the inth degree so we can hear the Holy Spirit no matter what is going on around us, working on growing Community Fellowship, knowing how to get together when the country’s “infrastructure” falls apart, all this prep work and hard warnings will be for naught, all a waste of time, overkill preparation for something that, didn’t happen. Many hours of studying Christ, all for nothing. We’re gone, Raptured, before we needed Him. Now the other view point. What will happen to those just sitting around waiting for Christ to come in the clouds and snatch them out of here before the Tribulation starts, AND HE DOESN’T COME? NO BAPTIST RAPTURE? Will they be ready for sudden death and destruction at any time? Have Faith to know that 2 crackers and a small bottle of water will feed 50 people for a week? Be able to Preach The Word in the Face Of Death, and KNOW God will keep them if He so chooses? Try this for a compromise. Live your Life NOW ready at a moment’s notice to be called Home. AND Build your Faith and Trust in Christ so well that you’re ready to go VICTORIOUSLY through the 7 years of Hell on earth, and come out the other side with no spot, blemish, or wrinkle, and hear, “Well done My Good and Faithful Servant, enter into the Joy of thy Lord”. This way, we will ALL, Be Blessed.
